I have this laptop, mainly for gaming (no video editing) for 6 months now. I mostly play fps like apex, hunt: showdown and taxing games. First months with this beast WITH extrrnal 144hz+ hdmi monitor, no problem, no bugs, no dips no hangs no throttling. (x1 USB YIKES yes.. But 2 usb-c..) But when I used laptop's screen, now I got problems. Throttling in firefights, frame dips in usually smooth wide areas, like playing with 40 fps in intense firefights - and well we die in the fight. So after weeks of headaches, I believe I found my solution : update the BIOS (like 1 man said here, credits to you Buddy) then edit your "power plan" and change advanced power settings, under "processor power management", set " maximum processor state" from 100% to 98%. Another thing is our OS. 15 XE4 here uses Win11 and I'm not in favor of that, because it's still not polished as Win10. There will be the time that a certain windows update will make your system, programs and settings unfavorable to use. I had this update that rendered GCC (gigabyte control center) useless, really, doesn't even open... I wish GGbyte will improve their GCC much further like or surpassing Acer's. Great spec (exept the x1 USB) , so-so gigabyte program function Read @AChocolatePhilosophy and @TheWickedjon 's comments, exaclty what I also experienced.

I used that power solution to control heat issues on my nitro-an517-51, i ended up undervolting too and changed the paste right away. it's just to out of date at this point and im getting ddr5 ram and a 30 series graphics card AND it was 400 bucks cheaper because of the open box; oh, 32 gig of ram and pcie 4, thunderbolt argh, argh, argh total man machine. 😂

Nice review mate. What about the Gigabyte Aero 5 2022 (I7 12700h RTX 3070ti). Does it perform like this Aorus? Is it better? Which one would you pick? Here where I live the Aero is cheaper

Aero Is designed for content creation and has a much better display 4K AMOLED, but only 60hz, and only white backlit instead of rgb, many more ports. Everything else is the same though: Same cpu, gpu,130W, 1tb ssd, 16g ram. So, for performance there should be a little to no difference.

I just got this laptop blackfriday deal off newegg. (i7 12700h + rtx 3070ti 130w) updated all drivers, it has a critical flaw, in the form of power throttling. It's a weird issue, the game starts working fine, suddenly fps takes a huge dump. Monitoring the power delivery via msi afterburner, and you can see when the watts drop from 114 to like 45 on the gpu. I have no logical explanation as to why this is happenning, it does not appear to be temperature based. Seems like there is something causing this and i dont know what it is. As it stands, my last years asus rog strix (r5 5900hx + rtx 3060 125w)) is leaps and bounds faster. do NOT BUY

@@PowerMountie Update: I've updated the BIOS, to the most recent one, the power throttling issues seem to have gone away?!?! (for now) if you decide to purchase, it is CRITICALLY IMPORTANT you upgrade YOUR BIOS, this takes a while updating, the pc shutds down and power back on a few times. but after BIOS upgrade, it seems to run stable now. Overall the laptop performs very well now, the only gripe I have, is the screen hinge feels,"delicate?" somehow i get the feeling it's gonna break one day. :/ If you could save up a few bucks and get a legion 5, i think its a much better purcahse. But if you want high specs, for cheap, then I guess you gotta put up with gigabyte's shoddy construction quality and terrible software.
@Reed272

Exactly. For me looks like thermal throttling. It should be smooth considering the specs of this laptop. I believe it's Gigabyte's 3rd party program and BIOS. When frame dropping I updated bios. The problem showed again. After weeks of fixing the frame drops, I decided to set max processing power from 100% to something like 98%. It worked - for me. Now my only problem is the freakin USB, only 1 port lol. Welp. Solved by external hub. Well we got USB -Cs tho haha.. Edit : another early problem AFTER these crazy windows 11 updates. Their gigabyte control center, it doesn't even open. It was solved by future windows updates. Really hate it when updates bugging up the system :(

@@Reed272 so after i posted this, I actually updated to the latest gigabyte BIOS, and the frame drops are no longer happenning. However, after using this laptop for a few weeks, i really dislike it overall. The build quality feels very poorly made, the screen hinge particularly feels like it will break any moment. I prefer my 2021's asus rog strix, and will be returning this gigabyte for store credit.

@@Thewickedjon Sad to hear that. I mean we invested money for our convenience, expected that they will deliver the same user experience like leading brand does, but we felt the gap. Considering the price point it's good, but makes us suffer, then finding solutions of their programming problems that they're supposed to solve in the first place. Pricing here vs leading brands are like 400-500$ more, but user experience is great I presume. Might go with Acer again or try Asus next time I buy new g.laptops in the future.

@@Itsme-qt9dk A MUX switch allows you to disable the integrated GPU altogether. Otherwise your dedicated GPU will always use the integrated GPU's framebuffer, which normally causes a performance hit. And yes, sometimes input lag. The "workaround" is to connect an external monitor and set Windows to use the secondary display only. You'll have to look up your laptop's specs to see if it has a mux switch.

@@onefade656 well the 6800h and i7 12700h value different things, the i7 12700h values pure performance. The Ryzen 6800h is much more balanced between power usage and performance which results in longer battery life (almost double) and lower temperatures. If you're using the laptop for very CPU intensive things then the i7-12700h is better but, if you want to use your laptop like a laptop and bring it around the Ryzen 7 6800H is a much more compelling option. So all in all the I7 for a desktop replacement, the Ryzen 7 if you need a more portable experience.

@@amex4453 Doesnt play nice with windows 11. Sometimes takes 2-3 restarts for it to not glitch out and actually let me sign into windows. Performance is all over the place. Some applications feel extremely slow but others perform well, I think this is windows 11 having new optimization for multithreaded apps and laptop power saving but somehow it feels slower than a desktop from several generations ago. Video editing doesn't feel much different than my old i9 9900k but certain tasks are faster... it's really strange. Windows 11 that comes with this full of glitchy bloatware. When you reformat, it gets a bit better, but this is the glitchiest experience with windows I've ever had. Explorer glitches out and crashes every day. DWM.exe has a memory leak that is unsolved for many months, and seems to affect this laptop poorly especially in video editing apps. Performance management app is unreliable, changes settings on its own without asking you, randomly changes settings when you click into different apps with no explanation or ability to change it Fan curves are really strange - like they gave it to the intern to program them or outsourced it to some guy on Fiverr who has never used a laptop before. It's a fast laptop that wastes 15-30 minutes per day with weird quirks and generally poor design. The screen, keyboard and touchpad are nice though. It's missing an SD card slot.
